The positive integers from $ 1$ to $n$ inclusive are written on a whiteboard. After one number is erased, the average (arithmetic mean) of the remaining $n - 1$ numbers is $22$. Knowing that $n$ is odd, determine $n$ and the number that was erased. Explain your reasoning.

Given a $m \times n$ rectangle where $m,n\geq 2023$. The square in the $i$-th row and $j$-th column is filled with the number $i+j$ for $1\leq i \leq m, 1\leq j \leq n$. In each move, Alice can pick a $2023 \times 2023$ subrectangle and add $1$ to each number in it. Alice wins if all the numbers are multiples of $2023$ after a finite number of moves.

2017 Simon Marais Mathematical Competition, A1

The five sides and five diagonals of a regular pentagon are drawn on a piece of paper. Two people play a game, in which they take turns to colour one of these ten line segments. The first player colours line segments blue, while the second player colours line segments red. A player cannot colour a line segment that has already been coloured. A player wins if they are the first to create a triangle in their own colour, whose three vertices are also vertices of the regular pentagon. The game is declared a draw if all ten line segments have been coloured without a player winning. Determine whether the first player, the second player, or neither player can force a win.

A new meme is circling around social media known as the [i]DaDerek Convertible[/i]. The license plate number of the [i]DaDerek Convertible[/i] is such that the product of its nonzero digits times $5$ is equal to itself. Given that its license plate number has less than or equal to $3$ digits and that it has at least one nonzero digit, find the [i]DaDerek Convertible[/i]'s license plate number.
